A family who recently moved to Edinburgh from Mexico have been living in Airbnbs across the capital for weeks after being unsuccessful in their attempts to find a permanent home.
Gabita Jacome, 35, moved to Edinburgh three weeks ago after her husband Edgar, 42, found work in the city. Edgar, who has a PhD in astrophysics, works in engineering and developing car antennas.
Gabita and Edgar, along with their two young daughters, aged one and four, are now looking for a permanent place to call home after being rejected from several properties and forced to fork out money for pricey short-term lets.
